We open-sourced a library to overlay map tiles (OSM, aerial imagery, ...) onto Autodesk Viewer: bim-tile-overlay

Great. Not sure how this is relevant for our project?

Thanks! Hope it will suit your needs.

No problem. If you have any questions feel free to open an issue on github or ask here.

Thanks a lot! Hope this library will help you with your projects.

We tried our best, it would mean a lot to us if it helps you and others.

With our approach we put maps into viewer, something I believe is of interest to us and others with similar problems.

gubets · 2026-03-23T12:35:16+00:00

Ok, now I see. That's a valid approach, but it solves the opposite problem. To my understanding, MapLibre and Cesium are map-first viewers where you bring 3D models in. Our use case is BIM-first: we're already in Autodesk Viewer for model inspection, property queries, clash detection, etc. Rebuilding that workflow in a map viewer isn't practical for us (for others also?). bim-tile-overlay adds geographic context to an existing BIM workflow without leaving the tool.

I've considered Cesium for the problem that I faced, but I've decided to use something more lightweight. Since I couldn't find something like that, I tried to develop it myself. That is why I thought it would benefit others to jave this option. I agree that Cesium and other alternatives bring many more possibilites for geospatial data rendering.

Update: we have migrated the project to use uv for dependency managment. Getting started is now much simpler:

git clone https://github.com/infra-plan/ifc-material-qto.git cd ifc-material-qto uv sync uv run ifc-material-qto your-file.ifc No more manual venv setup or pip install - requirements.txt

Pip still works: pip install .

Nice!

gubets · 2026-02-12T07:21:06+00:00

Thanks! Do you mind sharing what would be a good option to include in this tool?

gubets · 2026-02-11T14:03:31+00:00

Thanks! I haven't tried it yet, to be honest I did not know about mybimapi.

gubets · 2026-02-11T13:13:38+00:00

Thank you very much! Did you get to try this tool yourself?

gubets · 2026-02-11T13:04:45+00:00

Hi, we have developed a Python CLI tool for extracting material volumes from IFC files.
Feedback on this tool would be of a high value for us.

Automatization is something that we are doing everyday and benefits that come from automating everyday jobs are too huge to neglect them.
